 Incredible Narration by a brilliant radio actor November 17, 2007
William Russo (Centerville -Cape Cod))
Okay, Okay. It's Indiana Jones. You know what you're going to get. It's good, non-stop action.
But what makes this set is the narration. For the 2 cassette, 3 hour adventure Dove Audio hired William Conrad to do the reading.
Few are more qualified, for it was Conrad who gave voice to the CBS Radio program, ESCAPE, in the 1950's. It was he who told the terror-filled tale of three men in a lighthouse (3 Skeleton Key) that was literally being devoured by a seething, snarling mass of rats bigger than a football field and thicker than the schooner from which they swarmed.
It was the late Mr. Conrad who gave booming voice to the fabled Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. The program was heard on CBS radio long before it went to TV. Conrad's take on Dillon makes the Marshall much more human than the cardboard figure he was on television. When the show went to TV, Conrad wanted to go with it....but they did not want a FAT MATT. I guess Mr. Conrad got the last laugh years later when he did his Jake and the Fat Man show on the tube. He also had the highly rated Cannon show.
Conrad's voice was golden and will be missed.
among radio people his stock was on the highest shelf, a niche reserved for him and a select few others. Orson Welles comes to mind. and that's about it.
Five stars of five...

Indy has a father that is still alive, and he is the block for the old chip, so to speak. He does wear hats that haven't been beaten to hell, however. With his dad, Jones must first uncover and make sure that the Holy Grail does not fall into the wrong hands. To do that, though, a whole lot of surviving and dealing with devious females and relatives must be done.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade March 26, 2006
Anna M. Ligtenberg (Chicago)
ISBN 034536161X - Back to books related to WWII and religious artifacts. As a group, these books are interesting if only for the complete effect - from Ludlum's The Gemini Contenders to The DaVinci Code to Indiana Jones, the differences and similarities in the tales are fascinating.
Indy begins the book by closing out his nearly lifelong chase after the Cross of Coronado. Ready for a return to the academic life, he returns late for the school year, only to find that his father is missing. Henry Jones has his own lifelong chase nearing an end - he appears to be within sight of the Grail Cup, and there are several groups of people who will do anything to beat him to it. Nazis, Henry's assistant Elsa, and a secret Brotherhood all have their eyes on the same prize, for their own reasons. Who will reach it first isn't nearly as important as who will be allowed to claim it.
As adventure books on the subject go, The Last Crusade is an odd mix of lightheartedness and murder, which detracts from the excitement of the story in the book but played well in the movie. Overall, though, it's a nice adaptation of the screenplay by Jeffrey Boam.

Henry Jone's Last Crusade November 16, 2004

The novelization of the third Indiana Jones series film starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery is as exciting as the movie itself. What makes this story interesting is the presence of Henry Jones, the bookworm father of Indiana Jones, who is a well-known archaeologist. Last Crusade returns a bit to the first one portraying Indy as a professor. Just as the first of the series Nazi was the archenemy of the Jones' party and the treasure they are after is again biblical. Logic and illogic coexist. But that's okay. Indiana Jones came from the comic hero long long time back.
If you love the movie, I am sure you will enjoy the book too including some of the parts movie left out. It is really like playing PC roll playing game while I am reading this book.
Recommended for Indiana Jones series fans.
